The ivory didnt look pink to me that may just be the pictures.

Thanks ... Larry

After seeing that vase I think the points may very well be pink ivory .
I realy dont know anything about pink ivory. Is this a good thing ? Does that make the cue worth more than if it were rosewood ?

WoW you guys are good !!!

Thanks ... Larry

SO IT'S ALREADY BEEN VERIFIED AS A PRATHER, BY PRATHER? WEREN'T YOU ASKING WHO BUILT IT?

AS AN INGRAM IT'S WORTH A HAIR MORE, BUT NOT MUCH....

IT'S DEFINATELY NOT FULL SPLICE.

Hey Marcus,
Never heard about Ingram. Would you be so kind and explain who is that cue builder?

I DON'T KNOW ALOT ABOUT HIM EITHER, BUT I HAVE HAD SOME OF HIS CUES..... FROM WHAT I KNOW, HE IS MAINLY A CUE ASSEMBLER, USING PARTS, BUT ALL THE CUES I HAVE HAD FROM HIM PLAYED VERY WELL.

THERE IS SOME INFO IN THE BLUE BOOK ABOUT HIM

bama has sold a few Ingram cues already..

every one i have ever seen has had his name heat seared into the wood..
kinda like a a hot iron brand where it burns it slightly...

Email reply from Jeff Prather

I sent these pictures to Prather and this was the response .

Larry,

I think that cue is pre 1994 also. It is made out of Pink Ivory, Ebony, Birdseye
Maple and Ivory. It is definately a one of a kind! I would value it at approximately $ 2,500.00

Thank you,
